All other embodiments, based on the examples herein, which are within the scope of the application as defined by the claims, will be within the scope of the application as defined by the claims.

The conventional garment steamer can only provide ironing function for clothes because the garment steamer only comprises one steam port. Therefore, when the garment steamer is used in the prior art, the garment can be only used for cleaning the garment, but in actual use, the garment is cleaned but not cleaned, or the unclean garment is required to be ironed, at the moment, the phenomenon that fiber impurities on the surface of the garment adhere to the surface of a steam port of the garment steamer, and the fiber impurities are stained on other places of the garment or other garments along with the movement of the steam nozzle, so that the garment becomes more difficult to clean.

Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a garment steamer structure, including:

the water tank 1, the fan 2 and the electric heating device 3 which are arranged in the garment steamer are arranged, and the steam port 4 is arranged on the nozzle of the garment steamer.

The water tank 1, the fan 2, the electric heating device 3 and the steam port 4 are structures inside the traditional garment steamer, and the connection and the working principle of the traditional garment steamer are not improved, and are not described in detail herein.

In addition to the existing structure, the garment steamer structure of the embodiment of the application further comprises:

The roller port 5 and the dust collection port 6 are arranged on the nozzle of the garment steamer, and the dust collection device 8 is arranged inside the garment steamer;

The roller opening 5 is connected with the water tank 1, a brush is arranged on the roller opening 5, the dust collection opening 6 generates negative pressure, and impurities near the dust collection opening 6 are sucked into the dust collection device 8.

Wherein, the roller mouth 5 is connected with the water tank 1 and is provided with a brush, so that clothes can be cleaned by the brush on the roller mouth 5, and the dust collection mouth 6 and the dust collection device 8 can collect clean impurities.

It will be appreciated that existing garment steamer must include an air inlet, and that when the steam port 4 is in use, the garment steamer internal air fluid path is: the air inlet-fan 2-steam inlet 4, while the embodiment of the application needs a fan 2 due to the addition of the dust collection inlet 6, which is required to generate negative pressure.

Thus, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a secondary fan 9 is directly disposed, the secondary fan 9 is disposed inside the garment steamer, and the secondary fan 9 is connected to the dust collection port 6 through a pipeline, so that the negative pressure is generated by the dust collection port 6.

However, the additional arrangement of the auxiliary fan 9 requires increased cost, and the size of the garment steamer is necessarily increased due to the newly added components, so that the portable requirement of people cannot be met for the hand-held garment steamer for pursuing portability. In addition, when the auxiliary fan 9 is used, if the steam port 4 and the dust collection port 6 are to be used at the same time, an air outlet is necessarily required to be additionally provided, so that when the dust collection port 6 is used, the air flow path is the dust collection port 6, the auxiliary fan 9 and the air outlet. A redesign of the garment steamer structural model is therefore required.

In order to solve the above problem, in another embodiment of the present application, the dust suction port 6 is connected to the fan 2 to generate negative pressure; the air inlet, the fan 2 and the steam port 4 form a steam air channel;

When only the steam port 4 is used, the dust suction port 6 is closed; when the steam port 4 and the dust suction port 6 are used simultaneously, the air inlet is closed.

That is, the dust collection port 6 and the steam port 4 share one fan 2, and when the steam port 4 and the dust collection port 6 are used simultaneously, the air circulation path is as follows: the dust collection port 6, the fan 2 and the steam port 4 are respectively arranged, namely, the dust collection port 6 is used as another air inlet, and the steam port 4 is an air outlet.

If the dust collection port 6 is to be used without using the steam port 4, another air outlet needs to be provided at this time, or a communication pipeline is provided between the steam port 4 and the air inlet, when the dust collection port 6 is used without using the steam port 4, the communication pipeline is opened, at this time, the channel between the steam port 4 and the fan 2 is closed, and the steam port 4 is closed, so that the air inlet is used as the air outlet. The air circulation path is a dust collection port 6, a fan 2, a communication pipeline and an air inlet. And in other cases (i.e. except when the suction port 6 is used but when the steam port 4 is not used), the communication line is disconnected. The design only needs to change the internal design, and a new air outlet is not needed to be added on the outside.

In actual use, if the roller opening 5 only uses the brush, some impurities cannot be cleaned well, so in the embodiment of the application, a cleaning agent track is arranged at the roller opening 5, and small holes for spraying the cleaning agent are arranged on the cleaning agent track. When the roller wheel opening 5 is used, the water in the water tank 1 is mixed with the cleaning agent in the small holes to form foam cleaning agent solution, and the foam cleaning agent solution is sprayed on clothes, so that the brush is convenient to clean.
